* ext4: limit the length of per-inode prealloc listbrookxu2020-08-191-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the scenario of writing sparse files, the per-inode prealloc list may be very long, resulting in high overhead for ext4_mb_use_preallocated(). To circumvent this problem, we limit the maximum length of per-inode prealloc list to 512 and allow users to modify it. After patching, we observed that the sys ratio of cpu has dropped, and the system throughput has increased significantly. We created a process to write the sparse file, and the running time of the process on the fixed kernel was significantly reduced, as follows: Running time on unfixed kernel: [root@TENCENT64 ~]# time taskset 0x01 ./sparse /data1/sparce.dat real 0m2.051s user 0m0.008s sys 0m2.026s Running time on fixed kernel: [root@TENCENT64 ~]# time taskset 0x01 ./sparse /data1/sparce.dat real 0m0.471s user 0m0.004s sys 0m0.395s Signed-off-by: Chunguang Xu <brookxu@tencent.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/d7a98178-056b-6db5-6bce-4ead23f4a257@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
* ext4: mballoc: make mb_debug() implementation to use pr_debug()Ritesh Harjani2020-06-041-10/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | mb_debug() msg had only 1 control level for all type of msgs. And if we enable mballoc_debug then all of those msgs would be enabled. Instead of adding multiple debug levels for mb_debug() msgs, use pr_debug() with which we could have finer control to print msgs at all of different levels (i.e. at file, func, line no.). Also add process name/pid, superblk id, and other info in mb_debug() msg. This also kills the mballoc_debug module parameter, since it is not needed any more.

* ext4: fix up remaining files with SPDX cleanupsTheodore Ts'o2017-12-181-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A number of ext4 source files were skipped due because their copyright permission statements didn't match the expected text used by the automated conversion utilities. I've added SPDX tags for the rest. While looking at some of these files, I've noticed that we have quite a bit of variation on the licenses that were used --- in particular some of the Red Hat licenses on the jbd2 files use a GPL2+ license, and we have some files that have a LGPL-2.1 license (which was quite surprising). I've not attempted to do any license changes. Even if it is perfectly legal to relicense to GPL 2.0-only for consistency's sake, that should be done with ext4 developer community discussion.

* License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman2017-11-021-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

* ext4: send parallel discards on commit completionsDaeho Jeong2017-06-231-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now, when we mount ext4 filesystem with '-o discard' option, we have to issue all the discard commands for the blocks to be deallocated and wait for the completion of the commands on the commit complete phase. Because this procedure might involve a lot of sequential combinations of issuing discard commands and waiting for that, the delay of this procedure might be too much long, even to 17.0s in our test, and it results in long commit delay and fsync() performance degradation. To reduce this kind of delay, instead of adding callback for each extent and handling all of them in a sequential manner on commit phase, we instead add a separate list of extents to free to the superblock and then process this list at once after transaction commits so that we can issue all the discard commands in a parallel manner like XFS filesystem. Finally, we could enhance the discard command handling performance. The result was such that 17.0s delay of a single commit in the worst case has been enhanced to 4.8s.

* ext4: use module parameters instead of debugfs for mballoc_debugTheodore Ts'o2013-02-091-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are multiple reasons to move away from debugfs. First of all, we are only using it for a single parameter, and it is much more complicated to set up (some 30 lines of code compared to 3), and one more thing that might fail while loading the ext4 module. Secondly, as a module paramter it can be specified as a boot option if ext4 is built into the kernel, or as a parameter when the module is loaded, and it can also be manipulated dynamically under /sys/module/ext4/parameters/mballoc_debug. So it is more flexible. Ultimately we want to move away from using mb_debug() towards tracepoints, but for now this is still a useful simplification of the code base.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ext4_free_blocks() function now has two new flags that indicate whether a partial cluster at the beginning or the end of the block extents should be freed or not. That will be up the caller (i.e., truncate), who can figure out whether partial clusters at the beginning or the end of a block range can be freed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In most of mballoc.c, we do everything in units of clusters, since the block allocation bitmaps and buddy bitmaps are all denominated in clusters. The one place where we do deal with absolute block numbers is in the code that handles the preallocation regions, since in the case of inode-based preallocation regions, the start of the preallocation region can't be relative to the beginning of the group. So this adds a bit of complexity, where pa_pstart and pa_lstart are block numbers, while pa_free, pa_len, and fe_len are denominated in units of clusters.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the locality group prealloc list is freed only when there is a block allocation failure. This can result in large number of entries in the preallocation list making ext4_mb_use_preallocated() expensive. To fix this, we convert the locality group prealloc list to a hash list. The hash index is the order of number of blocks in the prealloc space with a max order of 9. When adding prealloc space to the list we make sure total entries for each order does not exceed 8. If it is more than 8 we discard few entries and make sure the we have only <= 5 entries. Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
